"There seems to be a song for everything. We listen to the songs of wind and the songs of water. When we watch the clouds or the stars at night, we will find a song from their natural elements, which always needs to be appreciated and expressed."

Well, Suprise, Suprise! Here I am again filling in for Matt Smith's Rolling Thunder Review!! Today (June 5th) is his Daughter Kelly's 9th Birthday! Happy Birthday Kelly! We began the festivities with some material from the 2-26-90 show from Oakland Coliseum Arena. A hilarious "We Want Phil" episode with Mr. Lesh delivering the goods with Tom Thumb Blues, followed by Music Never Stopped > Don't Ease Me In. We continued this very special day by fulfilling a promise made on my last show to complete the 7-18-76 Orpheum Theater show Set 2. We heard Sugar Magnolia, and the encore Johnny B. Good. It should be noted that J.B.Goode is omited from many of the F.M. broadcasts in circulation these days, so that makes the encore a rarity! At this point we began a nice set 2 sbd from Grateful Dead's East Coast hangout, Madison Square Garden on 9-9-91. By this time we were joined by my Friend, and Cohort Tom Chiles. Always a pleasure to have Tom in the room! We started set two, and made it all the way to Drums > Space before running out of time. We then turned the chair over to Rasheed. Matt will be in the chair on June 26th in place of me, and Alicia Olson and I will be anchoring the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival on July 4th one week later. Commander Cody will be headlining that day before the fireworks! We'll see you on the fourth!
